Born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, Eagan studied at Neighborhood Playhouse School of the Theatre in Manhattan and with Wynn Handman.

Eagan recurred on Freeform’s critically-acclaimed series, “Good Trouble.” Eagan was introduced in season one as night-time AM radio talk show host Joey Riverton. Season two opened up with Joey coming out as non-binary. One of the first non-binary characters on network television.

At age eleven, Eagan became the youngest actress to win a Tony Award for Best Performance by A Featured Actress for playing Mary Lennox in “The Secret Garden.” In 2016, Eagan returned to “The Secret Garden” for the 25th anniversary concert production at Lincoln Center, taking on the role of Martha, Mary's chambermaid and sympathetic caretaker. She then reprised the role in Washington, D.C. with the musical being co-produced by The Shakespeare Theatre Company. Eagan then went on to play Brigid Blake in the 2018 First National Tour of Stephen Karam’s Tony winning play, “The Humans.”
